Instance Method

tableView:titleForHeaderInSection:

Asks the data source for the title of the header of the specified section of the table view.

Declaration

- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section;

Parameters

tableView

The table-view object asking for the title.

section

An index number identifying a section of tableView .

Return Value

A string to use as the title of the section header. If you return nil , the section will have no title.

Discussion

The table view uses a fixed font style for section header titles. If you want a different font style, return a custom view (for example, a UILabel object) in the delegate method tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: instead.

If you do not implement this method or the tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: method, the table does not display headers for sections. If you implement both methods, the tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: method takes priority.
